Want Robin to Lead a Workshop for Your Group or Guild?
Looking to inspire your group with a creative, hands-on fibre art experience? Robin Whitford, Advanced Oxford Certified Instructor, offers engaging, customized workshops that spark creativity for both traditional rug hooking and Oxford Punch Needle.
Workshop topics can include (but are not limited to):
-
Designing from Photographs (eg. pet portraits and special places!)
-
Punching a plaid (design your own or recreate a favourite tartan)
-
Creative play to reconnect with your inner artist (yes, even if you think you don’t have one!)
-
Beginner classes and so much more!
📩 Ready to get started? Email Robin at Robin@HookingOutsideTheLines.com with as many details as you can—group size, preferred dates, focus, and any special requests to get the ball rolling!
